Comfort Women's Japanese Aberdeen (novella) Zhang Baotong 2017.12.22

She sat on the ground as she jumped off the wall. The child behind him was also awakened and began to cry. She hurriedly covered the child's mouth with a quilt and stood up from the ground. At this time, her leg hurt terribly, but she couldn't take care of it, and ran along the small river towards the small stone bridge at the entrance of the village.

The small stone bridge was only one or two hundred meters away from the devil's turret, and she didn't dare to cover the child too tightly while running, for fear that she would cover the child so that she couldn't breathe. She let go of the cover, but as soon as she let go, the child began to cry. She covered the child's mouth again and continued to run towards the stone bridge. This is something she has long observed these days when she is doing laundry by the river.

It wasn't until she crossed the small stone bridge that she loosened the cover. At this time, she was no longer afraid of the child's crying, because there was wind at night, and the child's cry would not be heard by the devils in the turret. After crossing the small stone bridge, the village is located. The village is not very large, there are dozens of houses, half of which have been burned down by devils. When you walk along the village path, you still seem to smell a burnt smell. Wei Shaolan's heart was beating suddenly, I don't know if it was because of excitement or panic. She walked and ran, always feeling that there were devils chasing behind her.

Passing through the village, the moonlit path can be clearly seen. The path led her to the edge of a wood. Before she entered the woods, she looked behind her, and saw that the village was very quiet in the moonlight, which made her heart pound a lot. But she didn't slow down, and trotted all the way into the woods.

It was dark in the woods, and she could barely see the way, but she had only one conviction, and she got out of here quickly. Because she knew that this place was very dangerous, and if the devil found out that she had escaped, he would quickly chase after her. Thinking like this, she couldn't help but quicken her pace. Suddenly, a pheasant flew up in the woods, startling the forest with a noise that almost scared her soul away. The child burst into tears. She coaxed the child while panting and walking briskly.

Her heart was flustered, beating violently, almost out of her mouth. But tears flowed like a spring. Whether it was tears of excitement or humiliating water, she couldn't figure it out at all, and she didn't want to figure it out right away. But her tears were so many that they were uncontrollable, soaking her clothes.

Out of the woods, down into the middle of a low paddy field. Because there was no one in the field for a long time, and the grass grew more than half a man's height, she walked from the path in the grass more than half a man's height towards a few protruding peaks not far away. Finally, she came to the bottom of a mountain peak, and when she turned around, she didn't see anyone chasing her. So, she took a breath and walked briskly along the side of the mountain in the direction of her house. There is no road on the side of the mountain, but there is a path in the fields on the side of the mountain. She wanted to find a village so she could get directions. However, the villages were all located beside the road, but she did not dare to walk on the side of the road, for she thought that the devil might drive to find her on the side of the road.

It was late at night, it was dark, and she walked along the path by the mountain in the direction of the east. But the side of the mountain made a big bend and turned to the side of the road. She didn't dare to go on the highway at first, but she knew that the devils would not come out when it was dark, and even if they came out, they would drive out, and as long as they drove out, they would turn on the headlights, so that she would have plenty of time to hide. So, she boldly walked on the road.

It is only about 20 kilometers from Shazilingtun in Maling Town to Xiaogujiaotun Village in Xinping Guidong. She thought that when she was caught by the devil that day, she had been sitting in the car for half a day, and if she walked back on this road, at least she would not be able to walk for a whole day. However, she was glad that she had finally escaped from the devil's clutches.

She walked briskly along the road. She walked and walked, I don't know how long, and then looked at the side of the road, and it was still a strange place that she was unfamiliar with. Because it was very dark and she couldn't tell the time, she just felt that she had been walking for a long time, almost seven or eight hours, and it should be dawn. But she didn't feel tired at all, she just felt a little hungry. Because she pretended to be sick, she didn't eat dinner in the afternoon. However, she knew that once she returned home, some would be fine. She also knew that after she escaped from the tiger's mouth, Yamei would definitely suffer greater disasters and more serious destruction. However, she couldn't control her, and she was very lucky to be able to escape by herself.

When the sky is dark, you can clearly see the farmland and cottages on both sides of the road. However, the scenery in front of her was still so unfamiliar, she had never seen it before. According to her estimates, she would have been home at least by this time. So, she wondered if she was on the wrong track. At this time, she was so tired that she could not straighten her waist, so she came to a small village, and sat down under a big tree to rest, so that after dawn, she could find someone to ask for something to eat, and inquire about the way.

After a while, when the day began to dawn, I saw an old woman come out of the house and empty the urinal. She walked up to the old woman and pleaded, "Old man, help me." The old woman saw Wei Shaolan with a child on her back early in the morning, appeared in front of her, said such things to her, and was very puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Wei Shaolan cried and said, "I escaped from the devil's turret. ”

The old woman immediately took her into her house. Once inside, she felt less cold. The old woman asked, "How did you get caught by the devil?" and she told the old woman about how she was caught. The old woman asked, "Where is your home?" she said, "in the small Gugutun of Dongping Town." The old woman didn't know, so she went into the back room and called her out. The old man said to Wei Shaolan while wearing cotton clothes, "You are going in the wrong direction, Dongping Town is on the east side of the highway, but you are walking on the west side of the highway, and you are going farther and farther." Then, he said, "I have been to Dongping Town, and it is more than 40 kilometers away. When Wei Shaolan heard this, he couldn't help but let out a sigh. However, the old man said to her, "Why don't you rest for a while, have dinner, and then go that way." ”

The old man asked Wei Shaolan and the child to sleep on the bed for a while, and asked the old woman to cook quickly. After eating, Wei Shaolan was leaving. The old man prepared some pots for her to eat on the road, wrapped them in paper and put them in her pocket. Because it is very dangerous to walk on the road during the day, the old man sent Wei Shaolan to a mountain road, pointed to the mountain road and said to her, "You follow this path all the way forward, go to the village in front, and then find someone to show you the way." ”

Wei Shaolan carried the child on his back and walked on the mountain road for almost another whole day, until it was dark, and he got up to the road. She walked along the road, and at some point, it was about dawn that she finally saw a small town that was familiar to her. The town was dark and uninhabited for a long time, so there was not even a little light or movement. She thought for a while before she realized that this was Xinping Town, and their home was only seven or eight miles away from Xinping Town. She couldn't help but feel a little excited that she had finally found her way home.
